A day after the Fed voted to keep rates steady, the March PCE (inflation) figure jumped to +3.5% YoY, driven by higher oil prices. Mortgage rates moved up as well, but they're still half a percent lower than they were a year ago.

Mortgage rates just dipped below 6% (5.99%) for the first time in nearly 4 years! 📉🏡
But why hasn't homebuying exploded yet? 🤔 1️⃣ Buying takes months 🗓️; refis take weeks ⚡ 2️⃣ It's still the winter low-season
If these rates hold into spring, expect the market to bloom. 🌸🚀

This has been one of the weakest ‘jobs weeks’ in several years, with multiple sources (ADP, JOLTs, ETC.) consistently pointing to a much weaker labor market. Fed rate cut probabilities are rising, and average mortgage rates remain in the low 6% range. https://t.co/SGdB0UH7Yo

The Fed kept rates steady at their latest meeting, citing stubbornly high inflation and low unemployment. A new Fed Chairman has been announced but he won't take role until May. More signs of improving buyer demand in the Case-Shiller home price numbers.

December and January are two of the slowest months of the year for home sales. But the spring selling season is around the corner (things really start perking up in March), and if mortgage rates can stay in the low 6% range, activity levels should surge.

Encouraging momentum in the housing market this week. Lower mortgage rates are helping drive demand for both new and existing homes, December CPI came in cooler than expected, and President Trump rolled out early plans to improve housing affordability. https://t.co/P0xEmBrSe7

[Phoenix Rain @RealtorPHXRain]

With mortgage rates remaining in the low 6%, transaction activity is clearly picking up. The latest data from ADP and the JOLTS report evidence an economy that is struggling to create much job growth. https://t.co/22XvANEefB
